Slow burn (mxm) [SB]

Chapter 22

Cai looked up and looked around, he saw a child standing at the bottom of his stairs. "Brother kinda yelled at Carter about Carter not being a good friend and why he'll never date him, he said Simon a few times... and Viper... he then turned and saw the dude who he's now laying on and threw himself at him... I woke up to brother yelling"

"Oh... thanks for telling me Egan..." Egan nodded. "You can go back to sleep if you want... it's like 4 am..." Egan kinda shook his head. "No, I want to see who Brother is laying on..." Cai nodded. "Okay..."

Egan walked over and looked at Tinka and Simon, Saxe was following Egan. Saxe saw Simon and meowed, Simon looked over and stopped petting Tinka and put his hand out, Saxe ran to his hand and Simon petted Saxe, Saxe purred. Cai was surprised.

I thought Tinka hated Simon... and that Saxe also did... since they never talked about him and whenever I'd try to ask them they'd just say they didn't want to talk about Simon... Cai looked at his brother and cat with Simon. I didn't realize how much Tinka and Saxe cared about Simon...

Egan sat down on the couch. "Brother..." Tinka kinda looked at Egan. "Ye-yeah?" Simon kinda looked at Egan as well. "Can I talk to who you're laying on?" Egan slightly shifted. "Su-sure" Tinka got off Simon and Simon got up, Cai handed Simon his phone and Saxe jumped onto Simon's shoulder, Simon looked at Egan. "Hi"

"Hello... what's your name?..." Simon smiled a bit. "I'm Simon, what about you?" Simon slightly tilted his head. "Egan... what's your relationship with my brother?..." Simon glanced over at Tinka. "Uh..."

"We're da-dating, Egan" Egan nodded and Simon blushed a bit and looked at Tinka. "I could have said that..." Tinka looked at Simon. "No, you'd actually say that we are just friends... now when can I see my other son..." Simon kinda nodded. "Viper?" Simon slightly tilted his head. "Yes" Simon kinda nodded. "Most likely tomorrow... I need someone to watch him anyway..."

"Why" Simon shifted a bit. "I'm going to visit my mom in the hospital..." Tinka got a bit confused. "Oh... why is she there?" Simon shifted again. "I'll tell you later..." Tinka nodded, Cai was helping Carter with Bijn while Egan was just watching Tinka and Simon, Simon looked at Egan. "Um... hi?..."

"Hello" Tinka laughed a bit. "Egan, what do you want to ask him?" Egan looked atTinka. "Where he works..." Simon smiled a bit. "Oh, I work with Tinka," Egan nodded. "Simon" Simon looked at Tinka. "You should probably get your truck and go home..." Simon shifted. "I know, but I don't know how to get back to work from here..." Tinka kinda nodded. "I do"

"You have said that you can't drive tho..." Tinka nodded. "That's correct, I can't. I can tell you where to go" Simon kinda nodded. "With what vehicle-?" Simon shifted. "Carter's car" Simon was a bit surprised. "Oh-" Tinka kinda smiled. "Follow"

Simon followed Tinka upstairs and into Cai's room where Cai was sitting with Carter and Bijn, they looked over when they walked in. "Hi..." Carter held onto Bijn. "Keys" Carter got surprised. "Why do you want my keys-?!"

"Simon house" Cai kinda shifted. "Baby... you can't drive..." Tinka looked over at Cai. "Simon can, I know directions" Cai sighed. "Give him your keys... I'll get you your car in the morning..." Carter looked at Cai. "But-!"

"Carter, want Bijn to actually die" Carter looked at Tinka. "N-no... here..." Carter gave Tinka his keys. "Thanks. Come on Simon" Tinka left the room so Simon followed, they left the house and Tinka gave Simon the car keys. Simon took them and they got in the car, Tinka told Simon where to go and they got to their work. They got out of Carter's car. Tinka noticed Leo's car was the only vehicle there other than Simon's Truck. "Leo's car is still here..."

"It's like 4:30... should we go check on him?" Tinka nodded so they walked over to the building and walked in, Tinka followed Simon to Leo's office, Simon knocked on the door and Leo opened the door. "Simon! Tinka! What happened?... Simon, your truck hasn't left..." They nodded. "Tinka's brother kinda kidnapped me-" Leo was kinda surprised. "Oh-"

"We saw your car here and wanted to make sure you were alright... why are you still here? It's about 4:30" Leo smiled a bit. "Ah... I'm okay. I am just working later today" They nodded. "Okay, bye Leo" Leo smiled a bit. "Bye guys, see you tomorrow night" They nodded and left. 

They got in Simon's truck and Simon drove home, Saxe was still asleep on Simon's shoulder from the drive in Carter's car. They got out and walked in, Viper was awake and waiting, he saw Tinka and ran to him, he jumped up and Tinka caught him. Viper started licking Tinka's face a lot. "Vi-Viper!!" Viper stopped licking Tinka. "I missed you too..."

Tinka put Viper down and Viper circled around Tinka while wagging his tail. "We should probably go to bed..." Tinka looked at Simon and nodded. "Yeah... shoul-" Simon cut Tinka off. "With me, I want you with me again... I only slept with you once..." Tinka blushed a bit and nodded. "Okay... so your room?" Simon nodded and started walking to his room, Tinka followed while Viper went and laid down on his bed in the living room, they got in Simon's room and Simon closed the door.

"You can take your clothes off to sleep again if you want, I'm going to..." Tinka froze up. Shit- I forgot about that- Simon took Saxe off him and put him down, Saxe walked to Simon's bed and went on it and laid at the end, Simon took off his shirt while Tinka stood there, Simon looked over at Tinka. "Tinka?... something wrong?..."

"I- um..." Simon turned to Tinka. "I have seen you without your clothes before... is something wrong?..." Tinka shifted. "Please don't freak out..." Simon nodded and Tinka took off his shirt. Simon saw cuts all over Tinka's chest and stomach, Simon kinda started crying and Tinka was looking away. "B-but aren't you scared of blood?!"

"I am, that is why I never look at what I'm doing while doing this... I'm sorry..." Simon kinda nodded. "I have stuff that might help... want me to go grab it?..." Simon shifted. "You may, I won't stop you..." Simon nodded and quickly left his room and ran to his kitchen, Tinka looked over at Saxe who was staring at him.

"Surprise..." Saxe meowed and sounded either sad or worried. "I know... I just couldn't handle it... I know you also couldn't, you would always stay under my bed until Cai came to check on us... everything would remind you of Viper and Simon... me too... and I had to see Simon every night..." Simon heard some of what Tinka said.

"I'm sorry about that..." Tinka turned to look at Simon. "You didn't do anything wrong! I was the one who had hit you... all that and this is my fault..." Simon shifted. "... let's help you now..." Tinka nodded and let Simon help him with his cuts.
